Innovative Mitochondrial Testing Method

A new home testing kit allows individuals to assess mitochondrial health without traditional blood draws. By pricking a finger and using a specialized card, serum samples can be captured and sent for analysis. This method shows that samples remain stable for up to two months at room temperature, making it convenient for users. The testing process provides insights into how cells are affected by mitochondria, particularly optimizing muscle cells as indicators of overall metabolic state.
